Hello! You’ve reached our other legal page.
The National Neighborhood Housing Network Corporation DBA National NeighborWorks Association (“NNA”) values your interest in learning more about our organization and we are committed to protecting the personal privacy of the visitors to www.homemattersamerica.com (the “Site”). Our privacy policy explains the information we collect, why we collect it and how we use it.
To provide you with greater access of information, the Site also contains links to other sites. While we hope these organizations join us in respecting your privacy, NNA is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these other Web sites.
When using our Service, including the Site, you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country you reside in or supply information from, you authorize Twitter to use your information in the United States and any other country where Twitter operates. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
Information that you give us: It is our policy to not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from the registration process to request the receipt of news letters or news releases, from postings on discussion lists and/or bulletin boards, or submission of content via mechanisms such as e-mail, Twitter and Instagram.
Messages and other Public Information: We provide a number of ways for you to submit information and pictures to the Site and, when you make these submissions, you are asking us to make the submission public. This includes not only the messages you submit but also the metadata provided with the messages (such as when you submitted the message) and other associated information. Our default is almost always to make the information you provide public. Your public information may be broadly and instantly disseminated. For instance, your message may be searchable by search engines and immediately delivered to users of our Services. When you share information or content like photos, videos, and links, you should think carefully about what you are making public.
Server Log Information: When you visit any Web site certain information is automatically provided to the webserver, this information includes your web-browser type (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer or Firefox), your Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the webpage that you are requesting, the time of the request and the date. This information is recorded in our server logs.
Cookies and Anonymous Identifiers: You also should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of NNA’s internet servers or through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small text files a Web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Site.
Messages, Content and public information submitted to NNA becomes property of NNA and may be used in any manner permitted under the NNA Terms and Conditions, including public display or modification of the submitted content.
Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection. Certain information, such as usernames or handles, will be displayed in association with messages and other public information. Otherwise, our use of any personally identifiable information will be limited to our activities that are necessary for us to administer our organization and provide you with requested services.
We collect IP addresses and related information for the purpose of tracking information and to compile statistics to help us improve and administer the Site so that its users will find it more helpful and informative. The information is used solely for these analytical purposes. IP address information is not distributed to third parties.
Some portions of the Site provide the opportunity to share information with others. When you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on these areas of the Site, that information, along with any other information disclosed in your communication (e.g. your comment or post), can be collected and correlated and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of NNA.
NNA may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to:
We provide personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our privacy policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners (like publishers or connected sites). For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of the Site.
The foregoing policies are effective as of March 11, 2013. NNA reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
